In 2 years this hardware will become quite obsolete and better hardware would be available at a lower price point, so yeah, why not buy a new max 450 USD phone again? And don't forget, you can always learn how to root and install custom softwares (though I'd prefer not to)

The only other company that offers more than 3 years of major os updates is Apple, and maybe Google on its pixel lineup, idk.

Are you going by overall exposure or looking at full zoom? To me the A52 looks terribly mushy at full zoom on a proper sized monitor.

      dont forget snapdragon 732G found in redmi note 10 pro and poco x3 nfc it is slightly powerful and snapdragon 860 (found in poco x3 pro), it is the most powerful 4g soc from qualcomm

          Android versions/security updates are a plus after 2/3 years and rather than improving your experience, it might make it worse.

                  blue.sun, 25 Mar 2021The phone shuts down after three years, with the last update? it wont necessarily shut down, it just wont receive software updates after said amount of years, generally Samsung will send out 1 extra year of security updates. currently Samsung phones get 3 years of software updates and 4 years of security updates

                        Unfortunately looking at the software support of 2 years to 3 years, unacceptable !!!
                        Does Samsung expect me to buy another mobile in 2/3 years time, again ?

                            " there is a 64MP option in the camera UI. We were honestly rather impressed with how much extra detail it brought into shots. Even the HDR seems to look a bit better at 64MP than at 16MP for some od reason. "

                            Feels like it's rushed like the S20 ultra.

                            The A52 5G takes much better shots, better than S20FE.
                            So, expect 4G version to perform close after a couple updates.

Take a look at apple for example: if you wsnt to upgrade from 4 ram to 8 it would cost you a 100 bucks

                                Wait, so you get a charger supplied with these budget midrangers but Samsung removed the budget for their premium phones? lolwut.

                                  Camera has OIS but it doesn't take any better photos than its competitors! WTH

                                    does it have ufs 2.1 or something else ?

                                      considering the chipset, this is fricking expensive

                                        It's be great to see the 5G version being reviewed, including the benchmarking comparisons. Look how the A42 5G kicks the A52's ass.
